The much-anticipated opening of Arby’s inside the interior-landmarked space at 372 Fulton Street is scheduled for next Thursday, but we were able to get a look yesterday. Overall, we have to say that the owner and his architects did a really great job at integrating a fast food restaurant into one of the most posh and historic restaurant interiors in the city. We might have gone with some different fabrics on the banquettes, but now we’re just nit-picking.

  1. MAT — The only part of Arby’s I like is the Arby’s Sauce. Oh man that’s delicious stuff.

    But, honestly, I don’t care who rented this place. As long as someone rented it. You seem to want some magical synergy between this space and a high-end restaurant (on the Fulton Mall no less). So…. if you think that was such a great idea, you should have rented this place and opened a restaurant. Unfortunately NO ONE ELSE thought this was a profitable idea, thus Arby’s.

    So suck on that.

  2. Most Communists throughout the world have never had the opportunity to taste roast beef.

    “The problem with Socialism (and Communism ed.) is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

  3. Looks pretty good to me. Kudos to Arby’s for taking on the project and working within the restrictions of landmarking. The result will be, as 11217 said, probably the highest grossing Arby’s around. The extra money spent will be recouped in no time. There are literally thousands of new customers in the area, and if their salads and wraps are decent, they will do even better, profit wise.

    As I said before, since no one else “better” stepped up, I’m glad the building will be maintained and protected.

  4. I actually think that’s pretty cool.

    You all sound like a bunch of communists. If Arby’s was the only one to step up to the plate and pay the rent, then stfu.

    Otherwise YOU should have gone and rented the space.

    I think it looks quite cool inside and while I may never eat there, I won’t be surprised to hear this is the highest grossing Arbys in the chain this time next year.

    Mmmmm….roast beef.
